Yip, albeit it will be slow going.  The right line and you will not damage your vehicle. 
It is however much more fun on 2 wheels and the beer taste so much better.    :biggrin:
 
Great ride report!

Dankie veral oor die inligting en video van Mitchel's Pass, Mnr en Mev Vis Arend. Soos julle weet, wil ek en vroulief daar oor om van Hogsback na Rhodes te ry (oor so 2 weke) met twee op en bagasie op die Super Ten. Bly om te sien daar is nie enige "holy terrors" op die pas nie.  :thumleft:

Wow! I baled out of Katberg only half way up last year on day 3 of my Nam trip ... and it was super smooth compared to that!

Well done Mevrou.

Dankie Kobus.  :thumleft:

Ons moet egter vir jou dankie seg.  Jy weet natuurlik jy het 'n hand in die storie.  As dit nie vir jou was nie sou ons nie nou so rondgery het op die scooters nie.  :deal: :thumleft: :thumleft:
 
Was it this past weekend?  We saw a bunch of guys on different bikes at the fuel station on Saterday.


Louis yes we were all staying in Hogsback riding some of the local roads and routes

Well done!

One of my favorite routes in the area.. the views are always amazing.. did that in the rain once, few years back... Mitchell's was just boulders and deeeeeep ruts..  :ricky:

Those bikes are the right tools for that area..  :thumleft:
 
Excellent update, Vis Arende, thank you!

Love those roads...

Compared to what it was a couple of years ago, Mitchell’s looks like breeze. Katberg as badass as all the recent rumors suggest.

Lady Arend, you must be glowing with pride.

I was glowing with pride,  ruffian ...... just to be brought down to earth twice today!!!  :( :( :( :(.  Fortunately no bones broken, but lekker bruised.  Louis will have to give some tender loving care to Bettie Bok (the bike).

She just had an off day today, and the road we did today was another nightmare with ruts as deep as a camels back.  :eek7:    She got caught in one of these ruts and went down like big time.  She is ok'ish, just a tad bedonnerd and grumpy.  The bike is only a flicker light less.  Still need to see if the handle bars are bent or not.  :thumleft:

'n Paar kaarte aangeheg van ons roete. Ons ry 10 April vanaf Jeffreysbaai na Hogsback. Slaap 2 nagte oor op Hogsback, so die 11de is oop vir "site-seeing". Ry 12de na Rhodes.  Oorslaap plekke is vas, maar roetes kan verander!  ;D
